General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Yes or No, Do you still believe that Trump conspired with Russia? [View all]No doubt in my mind. You named some very strong instances.
For me, it began with the change in the GOP platform just prior to the RNC Convention. No one admitted doing it, but everyone denied having a hand in changing it. This solidified to me why Trump had very friendly views of both Russia and Putin.
Then foreign agent, Manafort arrived out of thin air, who then "chose" Pence as a possible VP. Pence's political career was in the trash heap trying to get reelected in Indiana. Remember Manafort faked plane trouble so he could introduce and convince Trump to choose Pence. Pence was in on this fakery as he and Mother were waiting for their arrival. I believe pious Pence is as dirty as they come.
The rest is history.
There were too many Russians mixed up with too many Trump advisors to be natural or normal.
There were/are too many lies and too many denials to be natural or normal.
I also believe many in the GOP, outside of Trump, (elected, or otherwise) who have colluded with Russia/Putin. We can begin with the Senate Majority Leader's unwillingness to work with President Obama to alert the American public once Intel brought Russia to their attention in 2016. He is still willing to look the other way to not only protect Trump, but his own hide.
I could go on, but I'm only upsetting myself ... literally.
Trump, his kids, cronies, the GOP, and many others are dangerous to our nation.
Our country, and the world, is full of good, highly intelligent people. I am certain these people outnumber the evil gangsters. But why does it seem they have the upper hand?
Is it because The Good believe in and follow the rules and the law, whereas evil does not?
Is it because The Good believe in and follow our Constitution, whereas evil uses our Constitution against us?
Sigh ... I'm just rambling ...
